Strong solar radiation to raise Bangkok, Thailand, temperatures to 35°C

Warm air and strong solar radiation to raise temperatures

From November 20 to 22, temperatures in Thailand are forecast to rise as strong solar radiation combines with warm air. Skies will be mostly clear, allowing solar radiation to warm the ground. In addition, warm air at or above +18°C around 1,500 m is spreading from the South China Sea, continuing to warm the area near the surface. These conditions are expected to persist.

Outlook for various areas

Strong solar radiation and warm air are expected to persist during this period. In Bangkok, temperatures are forecast to reach 35°C from the 20th to the 22nd, with humidity at 55% to 60%. Phuket is forecast to reach 32–33°C and Chiang Mai 32°C; neither is expected to reach 35°C.

Please limit outdoor activity during the day as much as possible. Take precautions against the heat, such as drinking water regularly and keeping indoor spaces well ventilated.
